Summary: A clear, entertaining and readable summary of psychology.
Review: Dr. John Mike has created a book which takes the basic understandings of paychotherapists and written them in a clear, entertaining and readable summary. Although the title would make one think this is primarily a child development book, it is actually a book about the basic qualities and methods to be a healthy person. Brillant Babies, Powerful Adults creates a holistic view of how and why we are the way we are, clearly explaining topics which are usually presented in an esoteric and disjointed manner in college text books. Dr Mike makes this information accessable to the general reader in a manner that does not require advanced graduate degrees. I believe that anyone who is about to have a child, is raising a child or who wants to nurture the child within will find this book useful and accessable.

Summary: ESSENTIAL READING FOR PARENTING A GIFTED CHILD!
Review: I first read this book during my childs infancy and found it quite interesting. As the parent of a 'Gifted Child' this book has been an invaluable reference if only for the chapter on powerful and positive parenting alone! Putting into practice the parenting methods on pages 16-27 have made an extraordinary difference in my child's well being and 'very superior' performance level. I highly reccomend this book for all parents.

Summary: Review while unable to finish reading the entire book
Review: It was not possible to read the entire book. The title is misleading (do you also think the title means that brillant babies will become powerful adults?). The writer deals more with the life adults (not parents) should live, rather than how babies will become brillant or powerful. The chapters of the book can be read in any order, there is no structure and nothing left to remember after a chaotic listing of every issue the author choses to pick: emotional mastery, a model of the mind and body (yes, such a model exists), how to redesign the subconscious, program it, and grow through relationships ('the closer we become to another person, the more we grow'), and even how to be better connected with one's own god. It is a book which oversimplifies everything, misrepresents the seriousness of the issues under mention, and purports to offer you the secret of a happy life according to the soap opera beliefs of its author. I regret buying this 'book' which was written in order to be sold and not read.

Summary: Beware! Style over substance
Review: This 154 page puff piece represents little more than an excercise in self indulgence and ego gratification by an author with minimal qulifications and scant, if any empirical research to support an erratic collection of new age style child rearing suggestions. This work is geared for parents seeking to raise a super baby not for readers who are looking for an objective treatment of subject matter relating to child development and potential giftedness. Superior books in this area include The New First Three Years of Life by Burton L. White and Your Gifted Child by Smutny, Veenker and Veenker.

Summary: Fantastic Tool for Parent's and Adult's of Any Age!
Review: This book had a very powerful impact on myself which I didn't expect but it has also helped my neice and nephew whose parents followed it's advice closely. These children are both in advanced classess at school. Their teacher's always comment on their above average intellegence. My sister and I both believe that it was Dr. Mike's sage advise that produced this result because genius or brillance does not run in our family! :-) I always send this book to my friend's when they are getting married or are expecting a new addition to their family. Thank you, Dr.Mike you have added so much to all of our lives with this helpful book. PS I learned more about how my brain works from this book than in all my years of schooling!
